ensure 10m of hard rock anchoring (Fixed Length).The boring depth shall be measured by using
sounding chain.Each hole shall be capped tight immediately after boring completed to protect
from falling of any foreign material. Before inserting the Low relaxation high tensile steel strands
into the hole each hole shall be flushed with compressed air to ensure the bore is clean from
water, any loose and foreignmaterial.10nos of 15.2mm diameter strands of 24m each in a group
Quality Assurance Plan
shall be inserted by providing 10nos of PVC spacer plates at 1m c/c placedthroughout the fixed
length, so that the strands are not entangled to each other while inserting into the drilled bore
hole. An Anchor head shall be fixed at the end of strand group and a guide bulb shall be made at
the cut end before inserting of strands using Epoxy (mix of Hardener Lapox K‐46 and Resin Lapox
B‐47) grout.
9.6 A High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) pipe of 16mm ID and 25m in length shall be inserted through
the center of the spacer plates up to the bottom for pouring cement grout to anchor the strands
in the rock hole. All of the strands inside the bore holeabove the 10m rock socketing for the free
length shall be inserted thru individual HDPE Pipes of 16mm ID to keep the strands free from
contact with moisture and soil around.
9.7 Grout shall be prepared by mixing Cement and water uniformly using a mechanical mixer to a
water‐cement ration of 0.40per bag of cement, water to be added is 20lts) which shall be
pumped in to the anchor hole through the centrally placed HDPE pipe. A suitable pressure grout
pump capable to pump the above cement grout shall be used to pour the grout. 6nos or more of
grout cubes of dimension (100mm x 100mm x 100mm) shall be cast to ascertain the age at which
a minimum strength of 30Mpa is achieved. Grout shall be filled up to the fixed length (Bottom
10.0m) portion i.e. up to the rock socketing length. Confirmation of filled depth shall be
measured by using sounding chain.The free length (11.50m minimum from the grout top) of the
anchor is kept free to elongate for stressing effect during loadtest.
9.8 Dismantling of the concrete median, hard top road surface shall be done by pneumatic
pavementbreaker and the excavated material shall be disposed off in a suitable disposal area.
9.9 The underneath layers shall be excavated manually by using pickaxe and spade. Excavation shall be
done up to 3mtr below the existing ground Level. Excavated material shall be kept aside for
backfilling of the test pit. The base of the test location shall be leveled and compacted with the
light duty plate compactor. A 75mm thick Plain Cement Concrete 1:3:6 shall be placed over the
excavated, leveled & compactedto the dimensions given as per the drawing in Annexure‐A.
9.10 A brick masonry / solid precast concrete block wall of height 150‐200mm shall be made around
thetest pit at the existing ground level to protect the test area from surfacerain water entering
in.
9.11 Cutting, bending, and tying of Reinforcement bars for the footing shall be carried out as per the
Bar Bending Schedule. Adequate water tightness of shuttering for the RCC footing shall be
ensured by using the foam strips and sealant (putty). The RCC footing shall be cast‐in‐situ at test
location with M30 grade concrete. Subsequently a central RCC column of dimension 0.75m x
0.75m x 1.26m shall be cast with M35 grade concrete.6nos or more of concrete cube (150mm x
150mm x 150mm) shall be cast to check compressive strength. Water Curing shall be
startedafter 24hours of concreting by covering the footing with hessian cloth and sprinkling of
water on it, Curing shall be done up to a period of 14days and simultaneously care shall be taken
to prevent flooding around the footing also.
9.12 The steel beam structure for kentledge shall be lifted by crane and positioned centrally over the
support blocks. The grout cubes shall be tested for compressive strength. Once the strength
Quality Assurance Plan
achieved is more than 30N/mm² but not before 14days, strand groups from each rock anchors
shall be stressed one by one using a multi strand jackto remove slackness if any. The required
pressure to remove the initial slackness shall not be more than0.72MT.
9.13 As given in the drawing (Annexure – A), the arrangements of placing Datum bars, and Hydraulic
Jack, fixing of two set of deflection measuring gauges of 50mm travel (4nos) and 25mm travel
(4nos) with the datum bars, setting up pressure / Load measuring gauge shall be done. Once
loading commences, readings shall be observed from the 50mm deflection gauges (First set of
dial gauges) for the settlement of footing. After the deflection (settlement) reaches about 45mm
travel another set of dial gauges of 25mm travel (Second set of dial gauges)shall be set to its zero
position and subsequent readings shall be started. In a similar manner if the settlement reaches
20mm (in the second set of dial gauges), again the previous 50mm gauges shall be kept ready for
the next settlement reading. The observations in settlement shall be continued until the final
load of 400MT is reached.
9.14 As an additional measure to check elongation of strands comparing with yield of ram of jack,
four level instruments shall be set with a paint mark on each set strands before loading
started.The survey instrument shall be used to note the change in reduced level on each
increment of loading, immediately and after elapse of 60minutes. This shall provide a relation
between the elongations of strand;pressure applied and yields of ram of jack.
9.15 Concrete cube sample shall be tested at the age of 14days or later to check the compressive
strength of concrete is achieved more than 30Mpa.And once the concrete achieved the
compressive strength the activity for the load test shall be taken up. Initially minimum seating
load of 2.80T shall be applied and removed before starting of the load test. The loading patterns
in terms of pressure shall be calculated based on the RAM diameter of jack at site. Then footing
shall be loaded to a maximum load of 400MT and the design load intensity of 100MT/m². This is
done in 10 equal increments. Settlement will be observed for each increment of load after an
interval of 1.00, 2.25, 4.00, 6.25, 9.00, 16.00 and 25.00 minutes and thereafter at hourly intervals
to the nearest of 0.01mm. Each load increment shall be kept for not less than 1hour or up to a
time when the rate of settlement is appreciably reduced to a value of 0.02mm/min. the next
increment of load then be applied and the observations repeated. The loading shall be continued
to a maximum load intensity of 100MT/m² subjected to three consecutive hours through which
no change observed in settlement.Consideringfree length ofstrands as 11.500m, expected
elongation of strands shall be as under:

9.16 Reading of dial gauges shall be taken by getting down from existing ground level to the top of
footing level,but outside the footing through the steps made from two opposite barricaded
sides as in the sketch as Annexure‐D . In each side of top of footing there is a clearance of 1.2m
in between datum bars. Care shall be taken that datum bars must not be touched or disturbed
during dial gauge reading.
9.17 Upon completion of loading, unloading shall be done in 10 equal decrements. After reaching
the ultimate load, the settlement shall be observed for such three hourly readings where there
is no further settlement (less than 0.02mm/min) is noted or elapse of 24 hours, whichever is
earlier. After each decrement of load 15min observation time shall be allowed for recovery in
settlement and recorded.
9.18 After completion of test, the testing instruments (Pressure gauge, Deflection gauges) shall be
removed, packed and sealed carefully and shall be stored at Quality Control Department. Other
Kentledge arrangement shall be distressed and dismantled by using crane and demobilizedfrom
site by next two days. Strands from the anchor holes shall be cut 150mm below the hole top and
the hole shall be filled with crushed rock sand followed by full water saturation and 150 mm
concrete capping.
9.19 Back filling of the test pit shall be carried out as per the Construction Work Procedure and there
by road shall be restored.At last the barrication and road safety Cautionary boards shall be
removed and opened to traffic.
